At present, the interpretative framework of trans is being disputed, intensified in the last decade by the emergence of transgender children and adolescents as political subjects and the mobilization of families, which has produced legislative and institutional impacts on the recognition of the right to gender identity. The aim of this research is to identify the dimensions of the biographical experience of a transgender adolescent whose gender transition took place in this context. For this purpose, we use the Biographic Narrative Interpretive Method (BNIM) and expose the case analysis in two layers: in the first, we relate the "lived life" and the "narrated life" of the biographer, and in the second we interpret the case according to the dimensions of experience identified: the biography in dispute, becoming a trans adolescent, dependence and recognition, the institutional devices of transit (forward) and the transition "sideways". These findings raise the question of whether current professional practices in health, educational and social institutions enable lateral transitions. In this context, the agency of adolescents, social and community care in primary care, assistance to families and support groups among adolescents become central.Downloads
